So — been using this thing for about six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d say something since someone asked me the other day. I’m UK based, mostly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, for context.

How I found it was actually embarrassing — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an each way payout would be once you get five places instead of three. I used to just eyeball it and get a shock. Now I type the odds in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.

Their single bet calculator tool is the part I open most — you drop in stake and odds and it spits out profit and total return instantly, either odds format. There’s also the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, a lucky 15, yankees, which is where I always mess it up. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched betting odds calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.

One thing that really made a difference were the geekier tools. There’s an probability calculator that shows what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutch tool is handy too for when I’m splitting a race.

Couple of gripes. Its layout feels very functional, let’s say — no flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it works although the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. There’s no app, it’s browser only — fine by me just flagging it.

So yeah. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, works. If anyone still does the maths on paper, give it a go — saved me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
